Olfactory training is the only evidence-based treatment for post-viral olfactory dysfunction. Smell disorders after SARS-CoV-2 infection have been attributed to neuroinflammatory events within bulb and central nervous system. Therefore, targeting neuroinflammation one potential strategy promoting recovery from post-COVID-19 chronic Palmitoylethanolamide luteolin (PEA-LUT) are candidate antiinflammatory/ neuroprotective agents.To investigate of function in patients treated with PEA-LUT oral...
To report data on death or permanent disability after tonsillectomy.Electronic mail survey.A 32-question survey was disseminated via the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery electronic newsletter. Recipients were queried regarding adverse events tonsillectomy, capturing demographic data, risk factors, detailed descriptions. Events classified using a hierarchical taxonomy.A group 552 respondents reported 51 instances post-tonsillectomy mortality, four anoxic brain injury....
While olfactory dysfunction associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has attracted considerable interest, few studies have tracked outcomes at serial time points or beyond 2 weeks. Furthermore, data are conflicting regarding whether COVID‐19 severity correlates degree of dysfunction. This prospective case‐control study analyzed prevalence and subjective loss smell in outpatients (n = 23) inpatients 20) confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection vs healthy...
Objective The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has led to a global surge in critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, some of whom may benefit from tracheostomy. Decisions on if, when, and how perform tracheostomy with COVID‐19 have major implications for patients, clinicians, hospitals. We investigated the protocols practices that institutions around world put into place response pandemic. Data Sources Protocols severe acute respiratory syndrome 2...
Purpose As the COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded, there been growing recognition of risks to frontline health care workers. When caring for patients with tracheostomy, speech-language pathologists have significant exposure mucosal surfaces, secretions, and aerosols that may harbor SARS-CoV-2 virus. This tutorial provides guidance on practices safely performing patient evaluation procedures, thereby reducing risk infection. Method Data were collated through review literature, guidelines,...
Objective Opioid use disorder (OUD), which includes the morbidity of dependence and mortality overdose, has reached epidemic proportions in United States. Overprescription opioids can lead to chronic misuse, unused narcotics after surgery their diversion. Research supports that most patients do not take all prescribed surgeons are second largest prescribers The introduction those with OUD often begins prescription opioids. Reducing number extra available through smaller prescriptions, safe...
Approximately 30% of patients with confirmed COVID-19 report persistent smell or taste disorders as long-term sequalae infection. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated inflammatory changes to the olfactory bulb, and treatments anti-inflammatory properties are hypothesized attenuate viral injury promote recovery olfaction after Our study investigated efficacy a supplement Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) Luteolin support in patients.We conducted...
In this study, we investigated whether treatment with palmitoylethanolamide and luteolin (PEA-LUT) leads to improvement in the quantitative or qualitative measures of olfactory dysfunction relief from mental clouding patients affected by long COVID. Patients COVID were allocated different groups based on presence (“previously treated”) absence (“naïve”) prior exposure training. then randomized receive PEA-LUT alone combination Olfactory function memory assessed at monthly intervals using...
Academic medical centers striving to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) antiracism initiatives often ask faculty volunteer substantial time committee work, recruitment, mentoring, community, administrative responsibilities. These requests are not in lieu of current workload seldom count toward scholarship; the service may go unrecognized, unrewarded, uncompensated. URiM (underrepresented medicine) providing such thus pay a minority tax when precious is syphoned away from...
Smell alteration and cognitive impairment are common features of the Long-COVID Syndrome. Mental clouding, often described as brain fog, might affect smell by altering recollection odors or through a share mechanism neuroinflammation. We investigated mental headache, function in adult patients with persistent COVID-19 olfactory dysfunction. This multi-center cross-sectional study enrolled 152 adults self-reported dysfunction from 3 tertiary centers specialized disorders. Inclusion criteria...

The disseminated via international social networks used by a tracheostomy their families. Qualitative quantitative data were analyzed.Of 220 respondents, 90% cared...
Abstract Objective Age‐related hearing loss (ARHL) is a prevalent but often underdiagnosed and undertreated condition among individuals aged 50 above. It associated with various sociodemographic factors health risks including dementia, depression, cardiovascular disease, falls. While the causes of ARHL its downstream effects are well defined, there lack priority placed by clinicians as guidance regarding identification, education, management this condition. Purpose The purpose clinical...
Astrocytes have been proposed to multiple roles in the development and maintenance of vertebrate CNS. To facilitate documentation these roles, we designed a transgene enable their ablation at selectable times. The consists coding region for herpes simplex virus-thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) under control human glial fibrillary acidic protein gene promoter. HSV-TK is innocuous but converts antiherpetic agent ganciclovir (GCV) toxic product that interferes with DNA replication proliferating cells....
